Bappa Morya...

I had come back home early yesterday, by 6 in the evening. Took my laptop and started reading some of the comments of my last post, I felt all my friends and fans were disturbed after watching flood visuals from Bihar. I was still on the laptop, there were sounds of drum and trumpet, I realized that Ganpati Utsav has begin and a day Ganpati is going out for Visarjan.

Really, this kind of atmosphere in this month gives a spiritual happiness. During this period in Mumbai, there is a kind of competition to visit Ganpati temples and Mandals. As, I was in these thoughts, my mother called me from Delhi and told that she wants to have three day Ganpati this time.She has been a religious person, who keeps on wishing so that she could be indulge in religious activities. She was asking me about rituals of Ganpati Puja. Ganpati Puja has been a part of Maharashtra's culture and she is totally ignorant about this.

I also don't know much about these rituals. I am a simple man, who believes in simple kind of worship. Well, all these festivals and Pujas bring people closer undoubtedly. I wonder, this is the start of festival season that keeps on going till the end of the year. Whether it is of any religion; be it Ganpati, Ramzan, Diwali, Chhat, Dashahra or Christmas.

It seems that all the religions follow the same path to say good bye to the year. All pray to god during these festivals. I also pray to Ganpati to solve the misery of flood affected Bihar's people. God gives them strength to over come all the difficulties and adverse times.

So, on the closing note, we all say Ganpati Bappa Morya...
